Rho Chi advice

[LeslieAGD]

On my campus, we have a couple of sororities that girls tend to flock towards. They're very good at attracting girls during recruitment and they tend to be the typical representation of a sorority that freshmen have in their heads. As a Rho Chi, the best advice my partner and I gave to our girls was open their eyes and follow their hearts. At the beginning of the second day, we sat them down and said, "Many of you are talking about the same sororities and, if many of you are, then other groups might be saying the same thing. Really look at all the sororities and give them a fair chance...If you still want the sorority you're mentioning now at the end of the week, that's wonderful! But make sure it's where you fit in and will be happy."

*** The key is to make sure you're encouraging them look closely at each sorority, and not to come off as if you're discouraging them from joining the more "popular" groups. Otherwise you may alienate them or make them feel like you're pushing them to certain groups. ***
